Interesting dwarf with delectably twisted, narrow leaves with curling edges lined delicately in gold, a cute 12" tall foliage in clumps eventually 16-18" wide. Shocking! Lavender blooms in summer, good mollusk resistance… bright shade, decent soil, summer water.

Dense mound of narrow green leaves that are twisted as though the plant has been electrocuted with yellow aging to white margins. Excellent grower. Light lavender flowers in early summer. Plant in afternoon to full shade. Small/Medium size hosta

'Electrocution' is a hosta that looks like it stuck its finger in the electrical socket!. It is a medium sized hosta that forms an upright mound of tightly rippled, twisted, long and narrow leaves. The leaves are green with yellow margins which lighten to creamy yellow in summer and are slightly shiny. In mature plants, the petioles may have red speckling. The flowers are lavender.
